The demand to increase efficiency, do more with less, and prepare for a new wave of technology influenced by IIoT, is steadily increasing the pressure on automation and control system engineering. While complete automation infrastructure upgrade projects are long and expensive, modernizing SCADA control systems can yield important improvements within the existing framework. The challenges are knowing where to start, how to avoid swapping one set of challenges for a whole set of new unknowns, and achieving a smooth migration without disrupting operations.

In this webinar, John Fryer, Senior Director of Industry Solutions for Stratus Technologies, will discuss:

Why modernizing your control system platforms is a key step for the future

Key considerations for updating automation control infrastructures

Best practices in realizing a modern industrial control system

The ease of updating existing applications and adding new ones

How a modern industrial control system simplifies your life and increases efficiency

The webinar will also touch on technologies and strategies that are critical to realizing a modern industrial control infrastructure, including:

Virtualization as the underpinning for a simplified and cost-effective control system infrastructure

Utilizing best practices for protecting virtual environments to simplify redundancy

Preventing application degradation and failures that consume time and resources

Understanding key success factors, including:

The speed of recovery after a platform failure

Protecting your system against data loss

Integrating with existing environments

Ease of use factors

Optimizing TCO

Laying the groundwork for future applications and IIoT
